A certain PI who shall here remain unidentified reports getting the following information about a couple with two teens. It took him less than a week. None of the information came from an informant or from the internet.
The name of the doctor and the information that the man was buying Viagra. Someone in the family was consuming a lot of cheap whiskey. The boy was working for minimum wage at a hamburger joint. The family was behind on their phone bills, due in part to lengthy calls to Guatemala.
So where did the information come from? From their trash. (Once set on the curb, it’s fare game for anyone!) And such items as empty pill bottles, pay check stubs, bank statements, telephone bills, magazines, and want ads that are circled in a newspaper can reveal amazing amounts of information.
As outlined in
How to Be Invisible, the first step in going private is to get a shredder. The second step is for every member of the family to use it, 24/7.
